Ash Hussain is GUKPT Champion of Champions

Ash Hussain became the BluesSqPoker.com Grosvenor UK Poker Tour champion of champions at the weekend topping the 93-strong field who had won their way into the £75,000 freeroll by winning a GUKPT event over the last year.

Hussain collected £20,000 for his win at the G Casino, Luton having seen the payout structure voted for by players prior to the event. He saw off stiff final table opposition from GUKPT leaderboard leader Marc Goodwin winner (for which Goodwin won £10,000) and recent grand final winner Paul Foltyn. The final table payouts were:

1. Ash Hussain — £20,000
2. David Rudling — £14,000
3. Marc Goodwin — £10,000
4. Antony Ross — £7,500
5. Derek (John) Miller — £6,000
6. Paul Newman — £5,000
7. Paul Foltyn — £4,000
8. Essy Jahanpour — £3,000
9. Ganesh Rao — £1,500
10. Ben Callinan — £1,500

Hussain, who recently won the Grosvenor Grand Prix, had to overcome Dave Rudling’s chip lead to snatch victory. The final hand of the evening saw him call a 45,000 bet and then call all in on a J-T-2 flop with J-8 which stood up against Rudling’s 9-9.
